The Liberal Party is set to announce its new leader today, with former prime minister Jean Chretien making an appearance at the convention. The leadership race has been shaped by economic uncertainty and tensions with the U.S. due to tariffs imposed by President Trump. Former deputy PM Sheila Copps suggests that the new leader, likely Mark Carney, may call an election soon to capitalize on growing support. The winner of the leadership race will immediately face the challenge of stabilizing the economy and repairing international relations. The decision will also determine the next prime minister of Canada.

Hopefully, the new leader will prioritize strong social programs and stand up to Trump's reckless trade policies instead of just catering to big business.

We need a strong, progressive leader who can stand up to Trump’s reckless trade policies and protect Canadian jobs. Hoping Mark Carney can bring his economic expertise to the table and keep us moving forward!
